Hello everyone!

Ok so let me just tell you NEWARK IS LIFE. Seriously I was so mad
about leaving marble cliff but then I got here and this area and this
companion is exactly what I need right now. Yes I am still a sister
training leader and I'M OVER MY DAUGHTER!! So I get to go on exchanges
with Sister McMillan next week :)They call Nerk the promised land
because it's the best. I always wanted to go to the ultimate ghetto
and the ultimate hick town AND I HAVE ACHIEVED MY GOALS! Let me tell
you some Nerk words:

Dishworsher
Ornery (but pronounced just like it's spelled)
Sweeper (vacuum)
Squad (ambulance)
Nerk (or sometimes Nork)

I'll let you know more as I learn them. So we are teaching families.
FAMILIES. and it's the best ever. Also this ward is so amazing. I'm
already almost as close to them as I have been after many months in my
other wards. They feed us a lot and come to lessons! It's really super
great. Also my companion, Sister Pollmann, is SO so great. We get
along super well except she's way cooler than me but it's ok because
she's also really nice and will still be friends with me :) also she is
the one that just killed off sister Bradford so I'm the one replacing
her and it's was weird and way intimidating because sister Bradford
rocks and everyone loves her. Mannnnnn I just really like it here. We
are currently at a laundromat and we wash our dishes by hand and it's
really not even a problem.

I've been sick since last Wednesday but I'm doing a little better. I
had a pretty bad fever a few days ago but the work must go on and the
spirit helps :) (so does drugs. Those help too)

Well I'm glad you all had a good Easter and its always so great to
hear from you all! Also, women, what you think of that broadcast?? It
was the best ever. Just what I needed. It's about more than just doing
good things for people, but really loving them and wanting to serve is
key!

Ohh. Sister Ogletree visited the mish and here's a picture of it
because she's my favorite human being ever.

Okkkkkkk so I found out that IM LEAVING. I'm so sad, but I knew it was
going to happen. Our guesses are Newark or Fairborn. Just so you know
when I'm right. Ughhhhhh this is theeee worst. Ok bye.

Ayye fam!

Well this week has been pretty good. We were supposed to get

a call last night about transfers but now we're getting it this
morning and we still haven't gotten it so I guess I'll send you an
update when I know. But MAN I want to stay!

Not a whole ton of updates this week, we are still going out, working
hard, talking with everyone, etc etc etc. probably the biggest thing
was that we were able to get in contact with Mollies mom! It went
really well too! No baptismal signature yet. Her biggest issue is that
she feels like she doesn't know anything that is going on in mollies
life. They don't get along, so they don't talk, so Ronda doesn't even
know if this is something that Mollie really wants. So Mollie is
sending a text/writing a letter/ talking to her about everything she
learns and we are meeting mollies mom again tomorrow, so keep
praying!!

Oh before I forget, Sister Bradford goes home tomorrow! :'( so if you
have any desires to attend her farewell or something (in Orem) you'll
probably see Cameron Robins there hahaha. But yeah, let me know. You
should meet her sometime cause she super great.

Ok so the worst news ever.... JAMIE MESSER IS MOVING OUT OF OUR WARD
BOUNDARIES. It's so sad. But it's ok because I know she has really
felt the spirit and been learning a lot and I know she will continue
to make the changes she needs to prepare for baptism! She's so awesome
and I am very excited for her.

Now here's a cool story. I don't know if I've told you about Phillip
or not but we were meeting with him for a while and he was just having
a hard time accepting God. He wanted to, but he had so many questions
that he let turn into doubts and obstacles. We actually had a few
weeks that we couldn't find a time to meet with him but we went back
this week and something seemed very different about him. I couldn't
figure out what it was but I just felt the spirit in a way I never had
around a him and he invites us in and just says "I've been reading.
And I'm starting to accept it. It makes sense, and I feel a lot better
about it" he's been getting answers to his prayers and questions! He
really wants to come to church, and we showed him the new Easter
video. This guy comes in in the middle and says " come on Phil you
said you'd give me a ride. PHIL! Come on man" and Phillip keeps
watching and says "hold on, I'm studying." The guy say "studying
what?" "Religion" he gets a little frustrated and says "oh, and what's
your religion?" And Phillip just says "Mormon". This guy says a few
profane things and gets all mad and it literally didn't even phase
Phillip at all. He felt the spirit and knows what God wants him to do!

Well let me share a cool thought from church this week. Brother
Bardsley gave a talk where he told a very sad story from his mission
about a great guy who was murdered but how many other people were
brought back to Christ because of it. In his talk he said "Most of us
are not called to die for Christ, but we are called to live for him"
it was an amazing example of how much Easter is a celebration of life.
We are all here for a reason and God loves each of us! How can we
better honor the calling we have to live for Christ?

I love you all so much and hope you have a great week!

Ayye!

Ok so sorry super short on time. We got to go to the temple today
which is the best thing ever and super awesome but also leaves less
time :) It was so great and I was SO excited because it's been forever
since we could go.... So it was awesome!

We got in contact with Mollies mom and we are meeting her on Thursday
so pray really hard for us! Mollie is nervous, and so are we. But we
know the Lord can do all things and whatever happens will be ok.

I have some really great news: today I did really awesome at bargain
shopping for food and saved $20 and only spent $25 #blessed

Ahh sorry so short on time. But I'm happy, in the prime of my life,
and love you guys a lot.

Have a great week! And lots of fun in California!
